1. Subzero

4. Downfall
5. In Sickness and Health
1. Subzero
The bowels of my thoughts, icy lake
Drain emotions from my bleeding soul
Tears that follow burn my skin
Dread to see myself, I ain't me
The sun encircles my shape on the ice
In my shadow I see people below
Their frozen faces staring blank
All crying without a sound
Thousand degrees below
Ice age has begun, Subzero
Emotions running low
My heart is so cold, Subzero
Hatred in words, spewing from their mouths
Verbal injection of a freezing void
Sunrise in three directions
As all the faces turn to laugh
Thousand degrees below
Ice age has begun, Subzero
Emotions running low
My heart is so cold, Subzero
2. Anthology in Black
Thousand morbid dreams cross my mind
Reflections of the past, twilight in my thoughts
Try to think back to how it all started
But the act stands in the shadows of my thoughts
As the curtain of mist slips away
I can see, destruction of a thousand
Curon's lights will die tonight
Bells toll for the wrath that unfolds
Hear the bells chime upon the water
Feel the wind chasing the silence
Lake of Resia, divinity was lost
And lost it shall remain
When I close my eyes what will I see?
It takes me back to the beginning of the end
When false illusions caressed my mind
Curtain falls on the world of today
Hear the bells chime upon the water
Feel the wind chasing the silence
Watch my heaven turning to hell
Midst the sound of a tolling bell
3. Second Sunrise
What is left of our world, today
Walls have fallen with peace
But walls are build within our hearts
Wars are fought within
A cloak lies over our world
A misery show without an end
The masses follow the masses
The blind will lead the way
To see the colors that rest within your mind
The paradise we seek lies inside
Who's to blame, who will lose
Now the dice have been rolled
We must find the guilty ones
Instead of condemning what has been done
Who shall we praise now
When all our gods are gone
Living is not just to live
In a conrete or cardboard box
Think in a carbonized world
Where all has been done before
The thought of a perfect world
On the pile of broken dreams
To see the colors that rest within your mind
The paradise we seek lies behind
Who's to blame, who will lose
Now the dice have been rolled
We must find the guilty ones
Instead of condemning what has been done
From the smoking cities we shall rise
And on the ashes we will build
Praying for that one day
The sun will rise again...
4. Downfall
In silence I'm walking through the darkness
Chasing the webs that haunt my mind
Voices are whispering inside my brain
Divine powers are tearing me apart
Demoniac forces with illusive grace
Beyond the truth, the downfall of Curon
Prophecy was fulfilled, eternal dawn
Away is the sun, legacy will be their fall
My dream will become grim reality
The sea and sky will cleanse this town
My lord has spoken, eternal hell
For those who decide to blaspheme
The waves of divinity will purify this village
So come, my children of the lord
Prophecy was fulfilled, eternal dawn
Away is the sun, legacy
This is your downfall
Rise children of the lord
Prophecy was fulfilled, eternal dawn
Away is the sun, legacy... the fall
5. In Sickness and Health
The cruelty of this world persists
The cold wind speaks for our lost
Whispering words, weaving worlds
Her time has come, alas
A man with opened eyes
One stopped out of a dream
With a view held within his mind
The tears for his bride redeem
Watching this world falling apart
Like the dreams in a shallow sleep
Countless are the nights they shared
The mourning in his tears
But morning still has broken
A light in his world of dawn
All beauty turned to rot
His flowers, all are gone
Close the eyes of eternal love
Buries his face in his hands
Her face looks so alive
In the morning sun
But morning still has broken
A light in his world of dawn
All beauty turned to rot
His flowers, all are gone
Dreams are nothing but illusions
Illusions for one to see
It's the visual projection of our inside
And as empty as the heart in me
As the heart in me...
